提問:「當撰寫論文時,我發現我經常在每個句子中重複使用同樣的連接詞。因此可以請您告訴我們不同的連接詞及片語,以及它們的使用方式嗎?」

―電子郵件提問,姓名及學校未知。

回答:

您可以使用一些單字或短片語來連接前後的句子、段落以及章節,藉此引導讀者閱讀您的文章。妥善運用連接詞能使您的文章易於被理解;反之,不良的使用則會使整篇文章缺乏條理,甚至會出現過多零散的短句,使讀者難以掌握文章的重點。

了解連接詞的最好方法是透過大量的閱讀

大部分的教科書及論文都是精心編寫而成的,並且運用了許多不同方式來連接句子,建議您在閱讀時多留意當中連接詞的用法,將之學起來並應用在自己的文章中。在寫作時也可以多嘗試使用不同的表達方式,尤其是在較長的文章中。

不過,請務必要完全了解這些詞所代表的意思,錯誤的使用可能會完全改變您原先想表達的意思。

以下列出了許多連接詞及片語

礙於篇幅的關係,仍有許多其他字詞未被納入。當然,不要忘了最常見的and,它是您在連接兩個較短句子的最佳選擇。

請注意:被歸屬同一類別的字詞並不代表它們有著相同的意思,它們在句子中的位置也有所不同,您可以透過更多的閱讀或查詢字典來了解它們的意思及使用方式。
